AI
Coding
Unplugged
A two part activity designed to increase awareness around potential bias in artificial intelligence and develop empathy through considering diverse perspectives.

Concepts at a Glance

  • Practice empathy by realizing that different people have different perspectives of the same thing.  
  • Understand that computers see the world through data.  
  • Understand that the data a computer receives is like a model of the world, where we have done and represented a problem for a computer.
  • Learn that data acts like a “map” for a computer.
  • The data we provide a computer may differ from person to person based on these perspective differences.

Curriculum Connections

Applied Technologies

  • Select, and as needed learn about, appropriate tools and technologies to extend their capability to complete a task
  • Identify the personal, social, and environmental impacts, including unintended negative consequences, of the choices they make about technology use
  • Identify how the land, natural resources, and culture influence the development and use of tools and technologies

Grades 6+

  • Design can be responsive to identified needs.
  • Complex tasks require different technologies and tools at different stages.
  • Visual programming
